YOU MAGE COPS ARE GIVIN ULCERS TO MY ULCERS

You don't need to be a standard robe-and-pointy-hat wizard to be a MAGE
COP, but you do need some arcane talent. So that includes warlocks,
hedge wizards, sorcerers, bards, swordmages, and the like. Your character need
not even be ON the force, but you should try to think about cop movie/tv show
cliches. Here's some to get you started. You can pick one or two of
these, or something i haven't thought of:

I GOT MY EYE ON YOU MAGE COPS

The MAGE COPS (always capitalized) are a law enforcement agency in the city of Forcas that handles magical crimes and criminals that the mundane city guard is ill-equipped to tackle. They used to be a separate and equal sister force to the city guard, but the power of the arcane Houses has been steadily growing and the houseless MAGE COPS became an unglamorous place for someone with magical talent to devote themselves to. So currently the houses mostly police themselves (or each other) but when it comes to jobs that are too dangerous or apolitical for one of the namby-pamby arcane houses to take care of, it's time for the MAGE COPS to step in and take care of business.

To make matters worse for the MAGE COPS, the longtime chief Arkas Derum was turned to stone 3 years ago. No one's been able to reverse the effect. His statue remains in his office but in the meantime, Deputy Chief Hadrass has filled in, and he's TIRED of TAKING SHIT from all these PISSANT RECRUITS from the ACADEMY who think they're TOUGH SHIT WITH A WAND!
